Scratch with Warrnambool PS students

‘Scratch’ is an online website and offline software that can be used to create simple animations. It has a range of characters (called ‘sprites’) and backgrounds that can be combined in a multitude of ways. The ‘sprite’ performs on a stage, which is based on the Cartesian co-ordinate system, with (0,0) at the centre. The user creates an animation using simple drag-and-drop commands, such as ‘go to (x,y)’; ‘move 100 steps’ or ‘turn 90 degrees’.

We have several students who completed the GamesNet program last year, who will demonstrate their games and assist WPS students to learn Scratch programming. We hope you enjoy your afternoon at Hawkesdale!
